The show, broadcast on Channel 5, received over 2000 complaints, most of which related to offensive and aggressive remarks from Conor McIntyre towards fellow housemate and Miss India UK title holder Deana Uppal.

It received 12.5% of the total 16,000 complaints, and last month the channel was ruled to have breached Ofcom's broadcasting code during the incident.

The second most complaints, a total of 1488, were made against 'The X Factor', specifically when Louis Walsh could not decide between contestants Carolynne Poole and Rylan Clark and appeared to change his mind after making his decision.

Many viewers accused show producers of a fix.

Elsewhere, Philip Schofield's sensational performance on 'This Morning', when he handed the Prime Minister David Cameron a list of supposed paedophiles he'd found on the internet, received 811 complaints from viewers.

That incident resulted in ITV paying £125,000 in damages to Conservative peer Lord McAlpine, and Schofield being disciplined.

1. Big Brother (Channel 5) - 2,088

2. The X Factor Results Show (ITV1) - 1,488
